The "Guide to Core Competencies for Integrated Co-occurring Conditions Services and Supports" identifies essential principles, competencies, and knowledge for effective practice.
Professionals from across the United States with expertise in integrated services and supports for co-occurring conditions developed the initial core principles and competencies. A modified Delphi process was then used to validate and refine them. The Guide describes the development methodology, explains each competency domain, and lists the associated competency items. Use it to identify your professional development priorities and select courses that align with your goals.
